How can you not care that Lott is a bigot? Can you really say with a straight face that a white Mississippi lawyer (one good enough to eventually end up in the Senate) has no idea what the Dixiecrat Party was about?

geez, give it up. lott isn't a bigot. who cares if he is? 54 years ago, you'd think he had just voted in that race. in my view, he was talking to strom like men in the south do, showing respect and razzing at the same time. it's a shame a person has to guard every word they say, especially when they just aren't bad people.
and please tell me, are people who accuse people of being racist any better than the people they are accusing?????

He is not a bigot. He said a bone-headed comment. Lott was what, 7 years old in 1948? You are GIVING the senate back to the dems by demanding Lott resign.

Tell me, who will be the next person to be called a 'bigot'? I know it won't be a dem. This is an exercise in winning the election Nov. 5th and losing the senate without another election. Keep it up, you could have us Hillary by 2004.

I'm afraid you just demonstrated bigotry. :-)

GSC,

Thanks for posting the platform. I'd been looking for it for some days now.

Your points are well taken.
